Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains the genetic information to develop and maintain life. DNA consists of four bases, namely adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. These four bases convey huge amounts of information and are linked to a sugar, deoxyribose, and a phosphate group to form a nucleotide, the building block of DNA.  When cells divide, the proper balance between the four DNA … Continue reading Misregulation of DNA building blocks mapped in colon cancer development.
